View/edit full string expression used for tag

[Emma Rector]

I added a string processing method to create a tag but as soon as I click off of it, I can't tell what the expression is anymore. This is especially annoying when revisiting existing policies. Example:

Is that substringBefore or substringBetween? Before or between what? Did I use removeAllWhitespace() after that? Who knows‽

I tried double-clicking into it, thinking it might expand the expression, but it just highlights a word ("description" or "substringB").

This appears to be unique to tags, because other fields that have a simple text value will continue to show it:

Is there any way to recover the tag expression?

Hi Emma!
Thank you for reaching out to the Atlassian Community.

I completely understand how frustrating it can be to work with complex string processing expressions in Opsgenie tags, especially when the UI collapses as soon as you click away.
Double-clicking or trying to expand the field doesn’t help, and it’s easy to lose track of the exact logic you’ve implemented.

Here's a quick workaround using browser dev tools to identify the hidden expression.

• Right-click on the screen and select "Inspect"
  
  
  
  

• Using the Inspect Element tool, select the tag, and you'll see the entire expression.
  
  

I know this isn't the exact solution you were looking for, but I hope the workaround helps.

Aditya
